I gave my things away

I called the people that I only see on holidays

This next year's gonna burn a hole in me

I spent my weekdays in my car

And the weekends drinking hard enough for two

I think I'll settle down one of these days

'Til I catch my breath

I feel the weight of the world on my back

But I'm not feeling sick to death

'Cause I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

I learned a lot today

'Cause there's a reason why

I'll never live the easy way

I'm trying to be real

I wrote down words inside my arm

That say "I'll never walk alone," 'cause I get tired

I know I'll have my friends in every way

So I caught my breath

And for the first time I found what I'm looking for

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

Yeah, I went down

Yeah, I found a way

In the city where my father was born, I had a dream I moved out west

I finally found out what I wanted to be, so I picked up where I left

And I waited two more years and covered up my ears

I think I'm ready to sing this time

(I think I'm ready to sing)

I think I'm ready to sing this time

I really think I'm gone

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up
